At this moment, everyone in the group chat was truly dying of laughter. Inside the carriage, Su Yan was also immensely amused and couldn't help but joke with those around him. He looked at the others and asked what he had just said.
He pointed out that he had predicted two people would expose themselves immediately. The key was that he hadn't even started speaking yet, and they had already revealed their identities on their own. He let out a loud laugh. This time, Ning Rongrong and the others completely lost their composure, clutching their stomachs as they laughed along with him.
Meanwhile, in the timeline of Douluo Dalu 2 at Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao's mind was temporarily frozen. She was confused and wondered what all these old folks were laughing about. She felt ignored and wondered why her Old Ancestor wasn't paying any attention to her. To be fair, her Old Ancestor, Bai Chenxiang, was feeling practically murderous at this very moment. She was in no mood to pay attention to a descendant.
At the Speed Clan residence, everyone was laughing themselves half to death, but Bai Chenxiang wanted to cry. She really wanted to cry because she couldn't believe she had such a stupid descendant. She felt that Ma Xiaotao didn't even look at the situation before speaking. She knew that those who dared to reveal their names in the group chat either had great strength and background or relied on a good relationship with Su Yan.
She wondered what she, as the Old Ancestor, actually had. The answer was only a big headache. She cursed her foolish descendant in her mind, asking if she hadn't seen what happened to her other Old Ancestor. She also felt a sense of denial, wondering how she could have ever fallen for that bruised and swollen Fatty, Ma Hongjun. To her, it felt impossible and absolutely out of the question.
Little Wild Goose Is Not Swallow sent a message to the group, pleading for everyone not to misunderstand. She claimed she was really not Bai Chenxiang and blamed Hu Liena for saying all her lines. Bai Chenxiang still wanted to salvage the situation, but as she spoke, she saw Hu Liena's previous message and almost went crazy. Hu Liena really had said exactly what she was going to say.
Liu Erlong laughed and agreed that Hu Liena was indeed detestable. She joked that Hu Liena had "eaten" the "I have a friend" excuse into extinction. Tang Yuehua added that she was also inhumane for always taking away the last shred of dignity from others. Ah Yin joined the laughter, suggesting that sooner or later, they would all get to enjoy some gossip about Hu Liena together.
Bibi Dong then addressed Bai Chenxiang, telling her not to be afraid. She suggested that if Bai Chenxiang was worried about being harmed, they could make a deal first. Bibi Dong mentioned she still had one teleportation left.
Liu Erlong called her an "Old Woman" and noted that even at a time like this, she didn't forget to try and make a deal. She pointed out that one reward allowed Bibi Dong to sell two System spirit rings, calling her a true profiteer.
Ma Xiaotao was still lost, asking what they were talking about and why her Old Ancestor was still ignoring her. Loves Eating Carrots posted that everyone could see someone even dumber had finally showed up, which made her very happy. Bo Saixi suggested it was Bai Chenxiang's turn to scold and discipline her disrespectful and unworthy descendant.
I Am a Little Bird told Ma Xiaotao to go kneel properly in the ancestral hall and prepare for a lecture. Group Member Number Nine joked to Bibi Dong that if the girl dared to disobey, she should grab Bai Chenxiang right now and make Ma Xiaotao change her name to Su Xiaotao. Yanzi is not a Swallow reacted with surprise.
Inside the carriage, Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu didn't react for a moment. They saw Su Yan pull Ye Lingling into his arms and playfully pat her, telling her to stop talking nonsense. Ye Lingling gave Su Yan a pitiful, heart-melting look that instantly softened his heart.
Su Yan thought to himself that sooner or later, he would "arrange flowers". He thought that if Liu Erlong were added, it would be like "Arranging Flowers and Playing with Jade". He further mused that if Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi were added, it would be "Playing with East and West".
Bibi Dong replied to the chat, saying it was a good idea and asking the Transmigrator if he wanted a wife. She offered to send one to him if he just said the word. Little Wild Goose Is Not Swallow asked if she was serious, but Hu Liena quickly told her to keep wishing.
Liu Erlong said she was dying of laughter and asked if they could just enjoy the gossip properly. She admitted she was afraid to go out because people might think she was crazy from laughing so much. Tang Yuehua agreed, saying she had to hide in her room alone while gossiping to avoid being seen as crazy. Group Member Number Nine remarked that Ah Yin was the best off because she could always laugh heartily and freely whenever she heard gossip. Ah Yin jokingly asked if that was polite.
Ma Xiaotao grew frustrated, telling the others to stop talking. She complained that they were laughing at her even though her Old Ancestor was ignoring her. Yanzi is not a Swallow asked if she really thought the silence had nothing to do with them. Loves Eating Carrots suggested the possibility that Ma Xiaotao was simply too stupid and had angered her ancestor.
Nine Treasures Little Princess welcomed Ma Xiaotao as someone to take over the "silly" role from her friend and suggested sending her two Carrots to taste. Loves Eating Carrots then sent an exclusive red envelope to Ma Xiaotao, and I Am an Orphan could only laugh.
Inside the carriage, Ning Rongrong and the others stared at Xiao Wu in disbelief, surprised she actually sent the gift. Su Yan then tried to get back on track, asking where they were in the gossip. Bo Saixi suggested not to rush and to let Bai Chenxiang scold her descendant first. Bibi Dong agreed, saying Bai Chenxiang should teach the junior some manners and tell her not to be so impetuous.
I Am a Little Bird asked Ma Xiaotao if she was kneeling properly yet. Yanzi is not a Swallow jokingly suggested that Bai Chenxiang change her name to "Swallow Is Not Little Wild Goose" so they could have couple nicknames. Group Member Number Nine questioned how they could be a couple since they weren't the same type of bird, wondering if it was a spiritual romance. Both Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua responded with confusion.
At Shrek Academy in Douluo Dalu 2, Ma Xiaotao was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe these people wanted her ancestor to come out and reprimand her, calling it wicked. At the Speed Clan, Bai Chenxiang sighed heavily. She felt frustrated that while she was still a maiden, everyone was treating her as if she already had a descendant. She officially changed her name to "Bai Chenxiang.".
She sent a greeting to the Supreme Pontiff and explained that although she didn't know what was happening, she was still a maiden. She stated that Ma Xiaotao had nothing to do with her in the present. She expressed that she didn't think she would ever be with that "Fatty" in the future, so there was no such thing as an Old Ancestor. She then asked Su Yan to continue speaking.
Ma Xiaotao was heartbroken, asking if her Old Ancestor was really unwilling to acknowledge her. Su Yan jokingly told her to cry. Yanzi is not a Swallow joined in, telling her to hurry up and cry since her ancestor didn't want her anymore. Everyone in the chat broke out in laughter again. Bai Chenxiang clarified that she was not Ma Xiaotao's ancestor.
She suggested that perhaps in another world she was, but in this one, she was not and never would be. Bibi Dong noted that this made sense, as Ma Xiaotao's true ancestor had died long ago. She concluded that the current Bai Chenxiang was just herself, not the ancestor of the future girl. At this moment, everyone fell into thought, realizing that this seemed to be the truth of their situation.
